Connection TroubleshootingConnection problems with Rocket League could be the result of many different variables. Below you will find the most common fixes for user’s experiencing any of the following messages in game:

* “You are currently not connected to the Rocket League Servers”* “Not Logged in to Rocket League Servers”* “No servers online, Please try again later.”

Connecting to Servers from a Restricted RegionDisclaimer: Because of agreements with our online service provider, there are certain regions that are unable to connect to Rocket League’s online multiplayer component. As a result, server access is restricted in the following regions:

Troubleshooting your FirewallFirewalls are a great tool when protecting your computer, but sometimes they can interfere with the way your PC communicates with the Rocket league servers. To determine if your Firewall is the culprit try disabling it temporarily and launching Rocket League.

Note: Exercise caution when using your computer without Firewall protection. Once you are finished diagnosing your connection problems it is recommended that you turn your Firewall back on.

Adding Exceptions to your Firewall[If your connection problems are solved by disabling your Firewall, you can safely assume it is interfering with your connection. The best way to remedy this is to add an exception to your Firewall, which allows a program you designate to connect to your computer.

To add an exception to the Windows Firewall:

* Press the Windows key* Type Windows Firewall in the search bar* Select Turn Windows Firewall on or off* Ensure both Turn on Windows Firewall options are selected* Select OK* Select Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall* Check all boxes associated with Rocket League - If you do not see Rocket League on the list, click Allow another program… - Find Rocket League and Select Add* Select OK

Re-register your Dynamic-link Library FilesFrom the Microsoft website: Dynamic-link library files have a file extension of .dll. These are collections of routines that are stored until a program uses them. If these files are corrupt or out of date, they can cause problems with your computer. To fix this problem, re-register the .dll files by:

* Follow this Official Microsoft Fix It Tool link* Click Run in the File Download dialog box* Follow the steps in the wizard

Note: This wizard may be in English only; however, the automatic fix also works for other language versions of Windows.

Confirm Internet Explorer is up to DateRocket League’s Windows client utilizes some of the settings the user has set in Internet Explorer (even if it is not your default browser), it is important that IE is up to date in order to connect to the Rocket League servers. Users experiencing errors should update IE using the latest download from Microsoft, available below:

Verify Internet Explorer Privacy Settings are Set to Medium (or Below)Rocket League’s Windows client utilizes some of the settings the user has set in Internet Explorer (even if it is not your default browser). In order for the client to connect to our server IE’s privacy settings may need to be adjusted, that can be done by following below:

Update Internet Explorer Security ProtocolIf you are experiencing problems connecting, you may need to update your security protocols in Windows to disable certificate revocation and SSL 2.0 and 3.0 and enable TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. In order to do this follow these steps:

* Close Rocket League* Press the Windows Key on the keyboard* Use the search bar and enter Internet Options* Once in the Internet Options window, select the Content tab* Click the Clear SSL state button* Press OK on the popup confirmation window* Select the Advanced tab* Scroll down to find the SSL and TSL checkboxes* Uncheck the boxes labeled: Check for publisher’s certificate revocation Check for server certificate revocation* Use SSL 2.0 Use SSL 3.0* Check the boxes labeled: Use TLS 1.0 Use TLS 1.1 Use TLS 1.2* Select Apply

Port ForwardingIn some cases a user’s router may be blocking communication with Rocket League servers. In order to bypass these measures you may need to manually forward these ports. Note: Every router is a little different, so if you run into problems with this guide try searching the support site for your router’s manufacturer for a more specialized guide on “Port Forwarding”.

* Acquire your IPv4 Address and Default Gateway Press the Windows Key Select All Programs Select Accessories Select Command Prompt On command line type: ipconfig Write down your IPv4 Address and your Default Gateway* Access your Router’s Port Forwarding Page Open your web browser (ex. Chrome, Firefox, etc.) Type your Default Gateway into the URL Address bar* Here you may be prompted with a popup window requesting your username and password Most often the default username is admin and default password is password If this is not your default password click this link: Router Usernames and Addresses and find your router. * Once you have enter your router’s configuration page, look for a page called Port Forwarding This may be called NAT, Port Mapping, or Virtual Servers * Once you’ve reached the correct page, you can add entries for Rocket League using the following port ranges: 7000 – 9000 UDP (For Game Servers) 80 TCP (HTTP Connections) 443 TCP (HTTPS Connections)

I am having pretty bad connection problems with rocket league but they dont seem to be mentioned in your post. Every time I connect to an online game, the loading screen freezes and I am returned to the main menu with either error 42 or 59. It's pretty much 50/50 as to which error it will be.

I can connect to a game every once in a while (maybe 1 out of 15) and it runs fine with no issues, but then when I try to immediately play another game, I am taken back to the main menu with one of the two errors.

I really love the game and would love to start playing online which I can't realistically do at the moment. I should mention that I tried reinstalling the game with a little success, the first two games after the reinstall worked fine, but since then it's been back to square one. I tried reinstalling a second time with no benefit whatsoever.

I have a strange one that is happening to me recently, i've always been plugged in via ethernet. works perfect, i had to move my PC and use wireless. It lags, now i have an ethernet cable connected again, the game runs fine but every now and then i get lag spikes or connection issues. Maybe a faulty cable?

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes nothing.

Recently, I have been encountering an issue where I can't join a game. I am connected to the servers and after I have found a game to join the loading screen switches to a black screen with "JOINING" and a spinning wheel. After 30 seconds of this black screen I am sent back to my home screen where I receive the following message: "Your game has timed out [Error: 71]".

I thought this issue always happened, but a few times I have experienced the black screen with "JOINING" for a few seconds and then the loading screen flashes and I enter the game. I have tried 20 times today to join games and the same issue occurs every time.

What I've tried:-Selecting different game types-Selecting different Regions for Servers-Unsynching and Resynching with the Steam Cloud

Bought the game as a 4 game gift pack and sent it to my friends because I thought it looked amazing. Works for my friends not me. Problem 1 it is using my first name as my username for some reason and my username on steam is ChaosSpike and Account name is ChaosSpike17 so there is no reason for it to be using my first name. It may be tied to problem 2. Problem 2 is I was trying to play with my friend I bought it for. I click create party it claims I'm not logged into or connected to steam servers which I am clearly. If he uses the game/party invite option to me I accept but it fails because he is inviting me from a different game then I am playing which again I am not. Tried the fire wall "Fixes" and others wtf is going on here really frustrated.

This has happened to a few people and there were a couple of potential solutions out there, hopefully one will help you. Also, it was suggested that this happened due to players' steam and their updater being out of sync, thus creating a problem with Steam services1. Fully log out and back into Steam2. Opt out of Steam beta3. Run Steam in admin mode4. If you're opening steam from your desktop, delete that and go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam (or wherever your steam is located) and open steam up from that location5. Completely uninstall and reinstall Steam

Connecting to Servers from a Restricted RegionDisclaimer: Because of agreements with our online service provider, there are certain regions that are unable to connect to Rocket League’s online multiplayer component. As a result, server access is restricted in the following regions:

* Crimea* Cuba* Iran* North Korea* Sudan* Syria

Is there any hope that you may change your online service provider?! As Iran has a lot of Steam and PSN users, which bought this game and can't reach your beautiful game's servers! I actually tried using VPN, but even that didn't matter! What should I do?!

While I can't speak for Psyonix officially, it would be great if we could have RL available for everyone. Although, the logistics behind that may be a lot for our small team for the time being

Please do everything you can for people like us to be able to play too. It really isn't fair! please try....

Using Steam I've been playing online for two days, but now can't connect. I've gone through all the regular troubleshooting and haven't had any success. Oddly enough, I had a video playing on a second monitor and found that whenever I opened the game the video would not load. I also tried loading a normal webpage while the game was open, to no avail. Why might this be? Any suggestions or is a bigger game update needed?

Did you install anything specific then that might have restricted Rocket League's access?If you haven't tried updating your GPU drivers, I'd suggest giving that a go, and if you did, try to roll back to previous versions.

After having tried all things mentioned on the forum, website and steam group, I can't play online. I bought this game to play it with friends, and the only way I can conect to the RL servers it's restarting my computer. Once I close the game, if I want to play online again, I can't connect to the servers and have to reset my computer again, and sometimes even this operation don't work.
